tillates such as those produced in the pres sure distillation ordestructive distillation of petroleum oil. The invention further has,

to do with'thc conversion of such resinous bodies into useful materialsand marketable commercial products. 4

Such resinous bodies and coloring material may be removed from the oilsy suitable adsorbing agents such as fullers earth, bentonite, variousclays, charcoal and numerous other materials from which the resinousbodies may be separated by any of the known methods. It has been foundthat when such bodies are subjected to the action of oxidizing agentssuch as air, oxygen,

ozone, or otheroxidizing agents at a slightl elevated temperature or aretreated wit polymerizing agents such as the salts of ieavy metals, forexam e, ferric chloride, zinc chloride, stannic c loride and others,

that hard resin-like bodies are obtained industrial applications.

which have man The resinous b0 ies ma be en ected to both the action ofan oxi izing agent and a pol merizing agent.

I' or example, by dissolving in suitable solvents such as turpentine,linseed oil and innumerable other vegetable, gum or mineral products,these bodies may be used for varnish, paint, insulating films vandfilaments, fillers and other useful purposes.

These coloring matters removed from cracked distillate are of a more orless unsaturated nature and readily resmify on the passage of suchoxidizing agents throughthem and may be readily polymerized whentrtlaated with the above mentioned metal so. ts.

Thus it is practical and a decided advantuge to recover this coloringmaterial and resinous body and treat in this manner in order to producevaluable roducts which may be utilized and sold or commercial P 'PQApplication filed April 27, 1928. Serial No. 685,122.

While in this connection the removal of ucts may be as successfullytreated for their resinous products. Cracked distillates are, however,at the present time relatively abundant and afford an extensive fieldfor recoverin this material.

We claim as our invention:

1. A process of obtaining hard resin-like bodies from crackedhydrocarbon distillates, consisting in removing said resinous bodieswith an adsorbing agent and subjecting the removed bodies to a partialoxidizing action to produce a hard resin-like body.

2. A process of obtainingshard resin-like bodies from crackedhydrocarbon distillates, comprising treatin the hydrocarbon distillatewith an adsor ring a cut to remove the resinous materials there rom, andsubjecting the resinous material to a partial oxidizing act-ion at aslightly elevated 'tem crature above atmospheric to produce a ardresin-like body.

3. A process of obtaining hard resinlike bodies from cracked hydrocarbondistillates, consisting in removing said resinous bodies with anadsorbing agent and sub'ecting the removed bodies to a partial oxiizingand olymerizing action to produce a hard resinike body.

4. A recess of obtaining hard resin-like bodies rom cracked hydrocarbondistillates,

comprising treatin the hydrocarbon distillate with an adsor ing a cut toremove the resinous materials there rom, and eub'ecting the resinousmaterial to a partial OXldlZ- ing and polymerizing actionat a slightly.elevated temperature above atmospheric to produce a hard resin-likebody.
